Question:
Honorable Shaykh, regarding inheritance, he says: Is it permissible for a student of knowledge to read about it, and to read about the law of inheritance shares, or should he be content with the pillars of knowledge?
Answer:
As for inheritance, and what suffices in it, reading is not enough; he must learn it from one of the scholars who is proficient in it, and he must increase his practice and examples until it becomes firmly established with him. It is the first knowledge to be lost, as the poet says: "The first knowledge to be lost on earth is such that it hardly exists." Yes.
